In Texas a larger share of cities chose to retain the one percent local sales tax on utility bills than repeal it. Comptroller Bob Bullock noted 125 cities will repeal while 127 will keep the levy as about 900 cities impose the tax. The effects include a $150 million tax cut from the 4 percent state sales tax on utilities if the repeal takes effect Oct. 1. The tax repeal deadline was Sept. 10 with a May 1, 1979, option to continue for fiscal year 1978.
